Default How much HP

hey guys, I was just wondering what kind of RWHP should a good running lt1 with the cc306 cam port n polished heads and all the supporting mods be putting out. Right now Im debating to do this or not over this comming winter.

Thanks alot guys, and if you have a set up like this please post your set up and numbers, plus track times.

I have seen someone make 400 to the wheels with a 306 and LE1 heads, but they had to lean it way out to get it there.

Why not get a Custom ground along with the head Like a LE2 set up? Just curious.

I put down 320 to the rear wheels without any head work. That number should go up when I replace the rockers and advance the timing some. I'm running the stock 1.5 rockers for now.

Not that impressive but an auto with a 3600 stall. I made up for it with the bottle feeding.

I have seen a stock headed auto with a cc306 put down 340. I would be more concerned about track results though. I believe someone here is running 7.6?'s in the 8th on stock suspension with this cam.

LE2 or bust. There are better cams out there than the 306. Get a custom ground one. Good luck either way!

I put down 360/367 w/a mail order tune, cc306 and stock heads mods: csr ewp, dual bullets w/jegs x-pipe, pacesetter LT's, comp 918's and hardened pushrods. The rest of the car was completely stock.

I would say 375 to the wheels won't be a problem.

Yea man, LE2 is a good set up for the price. With supporting mods (depending on how well your car reacts to mods) You should see 400rwhp if not a little more. If you decide to go with an LE2 make sure you stick w/the LE2 cam also (if you dont already have one). I'd say go for it. Lloyed does some awesome work and he is a cool dude. If you have never done any work this extensive on your car before, remember, the #1 thing is TAKE YOUR TIME. Everyone gets stoked when they get new go fast parts, but Ive seen quite a few dudes screw their cars up trying to rush.
